✨ VOMS-PROXY-INFO(1) — bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk: this is the manual page for voms-proxy-info, which lives in the VOMS Client family, and it is genuinely the moment you've been waiting for. it's a little command that spills all the tea about a proxy — including everything hiding in its VOMS extension 💅. pull up a chair, grab a boba, we're doing this together.

🌸 NAME 🌸

voms-proxy-info — prints information about a proxy with VOMS extensions

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

voms-proxy-info [options]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

the voms-proxy-info command prints information about a proxy, and yes that includes all the deets about the VOMS extension too. it's literally the "who is she" command for your proxy 🎀.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

first things first, bestie: options can be written with either a - or a -- prefix, doesn't matter, no cap, they mean the same thing.

the options from -help to -out exist purely for compatibility with grid-proxy-init and have the exact same meaning as they do there. the rest of them? that's the fun part, and their meaning is as follows 👇

  • -help
  • -usage — Displays usage.
  • -version — Displays version.
  • -debug — turns on extra debug output. this one is for bug reports only, fr fr. users must not rely on the extra output printed by this option. it's not a promise, it's a diagnostic 🫶.
  • -file proxyfile — the name of the file containing the proxy, in case it's living in a non-standard place.
  • -chain — prints information about the proxy's certificate chain.
  • -subject — prints the DN of the proxy's subject.
  • -issuer — prints the DN of the proxy's issuer.
  • -identity — prints the DN of the identity represented by the proxy. this one is synonymous (iykyk 👀).
  • -type — prints the proxy's type (limited or not).
  • -strength — prints the proxy's strength, i.e. the number of bits in the key 🔥.
  • -valid — prints validity times.
  • -timeleft — prints how much time is left (in seconds) instead of the end time of the proxy. this option implies -valid.
  • -all — prints everything. everything everything. 👑
  • -fqan — prints the VOMS attributes in the FQAN format. Default.
  • -exists, -bits N, -hours H — verifies if the proxy is valid for at least another H hours and has a key of at least N bits.
  • -acexists voname — verifies if an AC for the VO specified is present in the proxy.
  • -conf file — read options from file.
  • -text — prints the certificate to standard output.
  • -path — prints the full path name of the proxy file.
  • -vo — prints the names of the VOs whose AC are present in the proxy.
  • -acsubject — prints the subject of the owners of the ACs in the proxy.
  • -acissuer — prints the issuer of the owners of the ACs in the proxy.
  • -actimeleft — prints how much time is left (in seconds) instead of the end time of the AC.
  • -serial — prints the serial number of each AC present in the proxy.
  • -dont-verify-ac — skips the AC verification step.
⚠️ Warning! data printed when this option is specified may not be reliable. like, take it with a whole grain of salt, bestie 😭
  • -targets — prints the list of hosts to which the AC has been targeted.
  • -included-file — in case the proxy included a user-specified file, this option prints it to screen.
  • -uri — prints the URI of the server which issued this AC.
  • -keyusage — prints the content of the KeyUsage extension of the certificate.
